Point Guard
Devin Harris (DK $3300, FD $3500, 17.9 USG)
With Deron Williams out and J.J. Barea still battling a groin injury, Raymond Felton is going to be the one that’s busy but Harris should continue playing minutes in the mid 20’s.  I don’t think it’s necessary to go this cheap at PG with Jeremy Lin already offering solid value (Batum is out again tonight) but Harris is a decent punt if you’re really trying to fit in studs like Westbrook and Durant.  Also worth noting, OKC is a massive 14.5 home favorite in this game so there could be some valuable garbage time once this one gets out of hand.
Shooting Guard
Wes Matthews (DK $4900, FD $4900, 17.2 USG)
I’d much rather find a find a way to fit in Felton here but Matthews is fine for his price. Â Dude’s playing a ton of minutes and has upside (36.3 DKPTS in game 3). Â The key to Matthews fantasy production is his 3 points shot. Â In the first 2 games of the series, he shot 1-13 from deep for a combined total of 32.5 DKPTS. Â That won’t cut it on a night with so lots of points expected but in games 3 and 4, he shot 6-15 from three for a combined total of 59.8 DKPTS. Â That’s the kind of performance you’ll need if you decide to fade Felton for only $1100 more.
Small Forward
Justin Anderson (DK $3100, FD $3800, 15.8 USG)
The SF position is terribly weak tonight with the exception of KD and Deng so if you really want a punt, I wouldn’t mind going cheap as hell and taking a flier on Anderson. Â He’s yet to play much this series, only averaging 17.5 minutes but with how beat up the Mavs are right now and the likely blowout, I can see his minutes crawling into the 20’s for game 5. Â Despite not playing over 20 minutes in any of the first 4 games, he’s still averaging 16.8 DKPTS, which is close to a fantasy point per minute so if my suspicion is correct that he sees those minutes tonight, a 20-25 DKPTS performance is not outta the question. Â You’ll gladly take that for his price point.
Power Forward
Marvin Williams (DK $4800, FD $5100, 16.8 USG)
If you’re playing FD, the play here is the guy I’ll be writing up at center but on DK, Williams is very enticing with Charlotte’s recent change in their starting lineup. Â They’re starting Williams at SF now, so rather than being matchup against Luol Deng, he’s seeing Joe Johnson defense. Â That’s pretty much a night and day type difference. In the first two games playing PF this series, he was averaging a putrid 9.4 DKPTS which is why is price has dropped so low. But in game 3 playing SF, he saw 36 minutes and recorded a double double (12 points, 14 rebounds) for 34 DKPTS. Â The rebounding is not likely to happen again with him not playing as close to the basket but he finally shot over 50% from the field for the first time this series, thanks to that Joe Johnson defense. Â Charlotte is expected to roll out the same lineup so feel free to roster him at that depressed cost. Â Speaking of that same lineup Charlotte’s throwing out tonight . . . .
Center
Frank Kaminsky (DK $3400, FD $3700, 17.1 USG)
Here’s where the real value comes from tonight and likely to be quite a popular one after what he did with his first postseason start on Saturday. Â Replacing Marvin at PF, Frank the Tank played a total of 35 minutes and produced 28 DKPTS with 15 points and 6 rebounds. Â Now I’m going to be cautiously optimistic here because of what I’ve seen from Kaminsky this season. Â He’s rarely followed up a great performance with another one and it was quite frustrating but he really provided a spark to this team in GM 3 and it showed throughout the rest of the team, which matters a lot in the playoffs so if he continues to make a few important shots, he’ll continue to play meaningful minutes. Â I’d feel a lot safer rostering Al Jefferson now that he’s starting but if you choose to fade Kaminsky and he has a similar night to AlJeff (like on Saturday), you’re going to immediately be at a disadvantage in GPP’s. Â Also, I tried telling y’all about Plumlee before the back to back monster games so please do yourselves a favor and continue riding this wave because this isn’t a blip. Â He’s had tremendous success against the Clips this season and will continue doing so.
